Launching into Cybersecurity

In this module we shall look at the following:

• Look into the professional roles, skillset, ethical responsibilities of Cyber Security professionals.
• Explore the relevant computing architectures, practices, applications and standards.
• Engage with programming concepts and practices necessary for facilitating security-based solutions to identified problems.
• Develop competent skills in applying algorithm and prorgramming practices, gaining individual confidence in developing computer programs.
• Develop the ability to implement a secure information system using the principles and concepts of object-oriented approaches to solve a given problem, such as information system design and web development.
• Discuss the ethos of professional development highlighting major ethical-social-corporate responsibilities underpinning the concepts of threats, securities and global impacts prevailing the recent technological innovations and future applications.

On completion of this module, I will be able to:

• Identify and explain the architecture, structure and functionality of basic components of a computer system, considering Cyber Security issues.
• Evaluate critically implications of the key vulnerabilities and threats of software and network security and approaches to mitigate these issues.
• Appraise critically and apply the concepts and principles of secure object-oriented programming and design to facilitate business security-based decisions.
